Catcher in the Rye? More Like Poop Flung from on High
Except for the underlying theme of rebellion against authority, Catcher in the Rye offers little to warrant its nearly universal star status.

The Month of July
July the first true month of Summer even though Summer starts on June 21. There is our Fourth of July holiday and on July 1 Canada Day. The first is also my birthday. It is the month of picnics, going to beaches, barbeques, etc. Just a fun month and still show appreciation to all veterans.
